The Faction of the Fooling Fish were a secret society of pranksters native to the Earth of the Prime Universe.
Delighting in old-fashioned pranks like pie-throwing, electrically-charged hand-buzzers or glueing googly eyes to things, the Faction of the Fooling Fish were originally only active on Earth, although they made some incursions into the Cupid Homeworld thanks to freak dimensional Rifts connecting it to Earth. However, in the eleventh hour of the “Rifts Crisis”, the Fooling Fish somehow acquired a tachyonic sailing ship which they used to rescue Marksmanship-522, Tracker-764, Bibliophile-962 and Pythagoras-858 from the impending explosion of Mandragora's Machine and return them to the Cupid Homeworld.
As recorded in the Cupid Courier, the Fish then ran amok in the Homeworld for “about an hour” before climbing back into their newly-acquired Void Ship and setting sail to explore the Multiverse. (PROSE: Rifts Crisis Officially Over!) They resolved to make a striking first impression on the upcoming April Fools’ Day, and hired Lainya Vantrik to guard their ship for them in the Void while they dropped off small parties in a variety of locations to complete a large number of elaborate practical jokes.
This included letting Astro, an extremely metafictional rhyming dog, loose on the Prime Earth; driving some Geometrons insane with the sight of a three-dimensional fish; convincing most of the merchants of the Interdimensional Black Market that the Market was relocating to the Interdimensional Tavern; and attempting to convince Jenny Everywhere that one of their number was one of her incarnations, from a universe where fish were considered supreme, who went by “the Fishter”.
After Jenny called Pythagoras-858, he made his way to the Fish's ship and made them promise to be safer and more considerate in their next bout of prank. Sheepish, the Fish agreed. (PROSE: Multiversal Mischief)
